Past Fellowships

Since 2011, NEA Foundation Global Learning Fellows have been growing their global competencies and skills. The most crucial part of the program happens here in the U.S., as the Fellows spend a year learning how to transform their classrooms to engage students in global thinking. But an important part of a Fellow’s global perspective comes from the international field study. Here's where they've been!
